My Dad never got to fly in one, although he did manage to have a flight in the Canadian Air Force Lancaster! Foe his 80th birthday, we got him a helicopter ride, accompanying a Spitfire which he thoroughly enjoyed. <br />The sight and sound of these magnificent machines is something I'll never tire of experiencing. Just a shame the Vulcan is no longer airworthy, as that is the plane that really hits the mark for me!Dylan Wrathallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01285181139467170047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7338589224051075532.post-5198393570872041392020-08-01T19:44:25.352+01:002020-08-01T19:44:25.352+01:00Dyl, whenever I see anything involving the Spitfir...Dyl, whenever I see anything involving the Spitfire, I think of how contented my late father was in that he fulfilled the only ambition that he ever had, which was to fly one.<br />He did, just the once, in Burma aged twenty.
